Comments about Cisco by Linksys Wireless-G Access Point:
Setup of this access point was easy, and the coverage better than my previous model (same brand, different revision). However, the throughput drops dramatically after a few minutes. After a day or so, I often have to power cycle the device in order to get connections working. I have seen all kinds of problems like it appeared, then disappeared, then it did not accept the WEP code. A power cycle always fixes this, but honestly I would NEVER plan on power cycling my wireless access point daily - or several times a day, just to get a reliable performance. I recommend to stay away from this product entirely and try some other vendors. Easy setup is nice, but a reliable product is a must-have.
